Answer:


(4)/(7)

Explanation:

given the ratio

16 : 28 =
(16)/(28)

Simplify by dividing the numerator/ denominator by the highest common factor of 16 and 28, that is 4


(16)/(28) =
(4)/(7) ← in simplest form

Note a fraction is in simplest form when no other factor but 1 divides into the numerator/ denominator
